Udinese moved into the top four in Serie A after beating 10-man Cagliari 2-0 at home on Friday.
The turning point came after half an hour when Cagliari’s Antoine Makoumbou was sent off for a second yellow card offense.
Eight minutes later, Udinese led when Lorenzo Lucca scored with a powerful header.
Former Aston Villa and Watford striker Keinan Davis clinched the win 12 minutes from time with a fine individual goal.
Udinese has 16 points, the same as third-placed Juventus, which has a superior goal difference. Inter has 17 points and leader Napoli 19.
Napoli faces Lecce on Saturday, and Inter and Juventus meet on Sunday at San Siro.
Cagliari remained in 15th place.
